Wicked is a Broadway musical that reimagines the origins and relationship of the witches of Oz, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman adapted from Gregory Maguire’s novel. The production plays at the Gershwin Theatre in Midtown Manhattan and is notable as a long-running, commercially successful Broadway show celebrated for big-number songs like “Defying Gravity” and its large-scale staging. The Broadway mounting is produced by Marc Platt alongside major commercial producers and has become a defining title in contemporary musical theatre.
